University of Houston-Clear Lake Pearland Campus
In 2004, City of Pearland officials and UHCL leaders formed a partnership to enhance higher education in Pearland. In 2010, they welcomed the new University of Houston-Clear Lake campus to Pearland and saw their plans for a vibrant educational community realized.
In August 2010, the new campus welcomed more than 500 students for its first semester, bringing UHCL’s total number of students to more than 8,000 for the first time in its history. Students can complete junior, senior and graduate courses at the UHCL Pearland Campus in high-demand disciplines such as business, education and psychology.
Having a university of this magnitude provides educational convenience to busy Pearland residents living nearby and allows for the fulfillment of dreams for many more.
In addition to a new university to serve Pearland residents, the new campus is also the home of PEDC.
